auDA Foundation Grants

The auDA Foundation offers grants to eligible not-for-profit organisations or research institutions for proposals encouraging community projects, education and research activities that will enhance the utility of the internet for the benefit of the Australian community.

Eligible proposals must deliver grassroots, educational or research activities that will enhance the utility of the internet. We are keen to support projects that focus on the overarching themes of digital inclusion and digital innovation, and will achieve practical outcomes through innovative means, i.e., research and development undertaken for the purposes of acquiring new knowledge and/or creating new or improved processes or services.

To be eligible, a project must benefit one or more of the following five key focus areas:

•  Rural, regional, and remote Australians
•  Australians living with disability
•  Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
•  Older Australians (65 years +)
•  Young Australians (12-24 years).

The grant may not account for 100 per cent of the cost of the project. Applications need to demonstrate an in-kind or financial contribution applicant of at least 10 per cent of the total project cost.
